The Oak 'n Pasty, Whittington Stone. Haven't been in the Boston for years.
Famous Cock is fine though if you like.

I bet you hardly recognise the Victoria area now. Much of it has been completely rebuilt. Do go up the tower of the cathedral if you've not done so.
Yep - stayed there a bit last year. Wonderful picture to be taken of the new glass structures towering above the (thankfully free of scaffold) theatre just by the station

I walked out of Victoria a couple of weeks ago and noted with dismay that they were scaffolding the old bsuilding opposite, as if to dismantle it. That's the building that contained Overton's fish restaurant where, in the 1970s, my mum would take me for a slap up lunch at the end of the school holidays. There would be huge prawns and Dover Soles or lobsters; smoked salmon maybe. As I stood gazing up at a window where oft I had sat, my eye was drawn to a ghstly image in the wall - the faint outline of 'Overtons' int he plaster.

I sank to my knees, and wept. I wept for my mother, now dead. I wept for the child that was me, now dead. I wept for lobsters, now about 45 quid for a big one.
Football in 'spoons? Could you imagine the types that would be in them when an England match is on?
